WHAT DOCTORS THOUGHT CYSTS WERE ❓

Cysts Had Been Seen In The Muscle Of Pigs

Pastor Goeze Saw That Human Tapeworm Heads Resembled Them

Dujardin Said Cysts Grew From Tapeworm Germs In The Wrong Tissue

Von Siebold Held That Cysts Were Strayed Tapeworms

In His View They Stayed Undeveloped And Became Degenerated

That View Won More Acceptance

Küchenmeister Fed Other Tapeworm Cysts To A Dog And A Cat

His Own Report Says The Dog Grew Tapeworms Nearing Maturity

The Cat Grew Them Too

Supported By Those Results He Set Out A New View In 1853

Cysts Were Not Strayed Tapeworms In His Account

Instead They Were Tapeworm Larvae

Each Larva Had A Provisional Organ Called The Caudal Vesicle

A Cyst Was A Necessary Stage In Tapeworm Development

Another Researcher Tested Whether Pigs Carry The Cysts

A Review Says Van Beneden Gave Tapeworm Eggs To A Pig In 1853

Four And A Half Months Later Its Muscles Held Many Larvae

Küchenmeister's Direct Proof Would Come From A Person

FEEDING A CONDEMNED MAN 🍲

Küchenmeister's Own Report Describes That Proof

It Was An Experiment On A Murderer Condemned To Death

The Man Was Given Cysts Five Times

Feeding Began 72 Hours Before The Execution

More Doses Came At 60 And 36 And 24 Hours Before It

The Last Dose Came 12 Hours Before He Was Executed

Every Dose Was Made Of Pork Tapeworm Cysts

Some Cysts Were Mixed Into Rice Or Vermicelli Soup

The Soup Had Been Cooled To Blood Heat

Others Went Into Blood Puddings

The Fat Was Taken Out And Cysts Were Put In Its Place

He Had Found The Cysts By Chance

They Had Lain In A Cellar For Seventy Two Hours Before That

By The Last Dose They Were About 130 Hours Out Of A Living Body

He Doubted Cysts Older Than 80 Hours Could Still Develop

Dissection Took Place Forty Eight Hours After The Execution

He Found Ten Young Tapeworms In The Intestine

They Measured 4 To 8 Millimeters In Length

The Worms Had Attached Themselves To The Intestine

Six Of The Ten Had Lost Their Hooks

Four Clearly Showed The Hooks Of The Pork Tapeworm

WHAT THE EXPERIMENT PROVED ⚖️

Küchenmeister's 1855 Textbook Includes His Account

He Called The Experiment A Sufficient Proof

That Meant Pork Cysts Turn Into Tapeworms In The Human Intestine

In His View It Also Showed How People Catch The Gut Worm

His Own Report Describes One Man

One Review Writes Of Criminals Condemned To Death

Another Places Them In Prison Awaiting Execution

The Test Linked Pork To The Gut Worm

His Doses Were Cysts And Not Tapeworm Eggs

Tapeworm Eggs Can Form Cysts In Muscles And Eyes

Cysts In The Central Nervous System Are Neurocysticercosis

Reviews Call His Experiments Much Criticized

Another Faults Him For Unethical Practices

Eggs Causing Cysts In People Was A Separate Question

A Review Says Ethics Prevented Testing That On People

Animal Experiments And Observations Of People Were Done Instead

Both Showed That Eating The Eggs Causes Cysticercosis

By The Middle Of The 19th Century That Question Was Settled
